The straight style was chosen by the former Friends star for the British premiere of new film Marley & Me.

The expensive bill for the cut came because Miss Aniston, 40, flew her hairdresser Chris McMillan from Los Angeles to accompany her on a week-long trip to Europe.

It is unclear whether the bill for his services was met by the actress or by the film's production company, Fox.

Mr McMillan was treated to an all-expenses-paid stay at several top hotels for the seven-day visit at a cost of £10,000 on top of his daily fee of £1,500 according to the Daily Mail.

The stylist is a long-term friend of Miss Aniston.

During her visit to London the actress had dinner at Shoreditch House in east London with co-star Owen Wilson. Commenting on her work with Wilson she said: "We are friends and we had a really great time from the beginning to the end."

The pair spent time in the cold signing autographs for many of the thousands of fans in Leicester Square.

Other celebrities on the red carpet on the evening included Dancing On Ice stars Zoe Salmon and Roxanne Pallett, as well as chef Jamie Oliver's heavily pregnant wife Jools and X Factor winner Leon Jackson.
